DISCERNING CALVES.
The Simple Manner in Which Embryo
Horns Can BE Removed.

Horns Can he Removed.
The practice OF dishorning cattle in
their infancy has none of the objections
able features which appertain to
the operation when performed upon
adult animals. The horn is in embryo.
The sensitive membrane lining the
mature horn has not come into exist
ence; the skin which covers the emf
broyo is almost devoid OF vascular
tissue and nerves, and consequently of
sensations; only drop or two of blood
escapes and the operation is much less
painful than docking lamb tail. Yet
the latter is done with no more serious
intention than to keep tho lamb clean.
while the removal Of q horn deprives
the animal of deadly weapon, used
to terrify and injure its fellows in tho
herd and to always threathen the life
of the owner of COW, OK or bull.
This embryo horn is removed in the
simplest manner A sharp knife is
passed under the flap of the skin which
covers it and the soft scale. not yet
grown to the skull but part of the
skin, is loosened and lifted with the
knife; the skin is replaced and little
tar smeared over it, or touch of
hot iron on the wound completes the
operation. --A Lire Stocknad,s. IN N. y.

The "Toddy" Plant.

There is shown at the exhibition Of
plants, at Baltimore. specimen of
the "toddy" plant, an Eastern pro-
duction about eight feet high, from
the conservatory OF Mr. T. Harrison
Garrett. 1t has grown too large for
Mr. Garrett house. and he has pre-
scented it to the National Botanic GAR
den, at Washington. A peculiarly of
the plant is that during the sap season,
about two months in the year. quart
of excellent toddy, with all the inioxi-
eating effects Of the American mixed
drink. can be drawn twice day and
enjoyed When this was known many
inquiries were made rs to whether
the plant would grow ia this latitude
with ordinary care. An expert said it
required q warm climate, about the
temperature Of India, for the tree to
thrive Several gentlemen were sure
money could be saved by growing the
plant at home. 1t is believed 1t will
be attempted by several who looked at

A sailor belonging to Chinese vessel
lying at spithaad, England, died recent |,
and was buried Id the cemetery there.
After The coffin had been lowered, four
sailors, who occupied position at the
foot OF the grave, produced in succession
q tin pail, parcel OF matches, q number
OF faegots and various pieces Of brown
paper. "A fire having been kindied, out Of
the pail were brought forth several plates,
which were disposed round the fire, a
lump Of pork, various pieces Of meat, q
few eggs and quantity Of salt and sand
These, having been divided into fives,
were cooked and placed on the plates, and
ON the contamination Of the sacrifice they
were all gathered together and returned
to the pail. Al sailor now partly filed In

ship and a couple Of subordinate officers
came forward aud Frustrated themselves
three times, uttering prayer at each genu-

The savage eagorness with which the

his handkerchief to give him

round my arm and then, bringing his
knuckles together with sudden twist,
gives my wrist a squeeze and almost makes
the bone crack.
